Russian soprano Ekaterina Siurina returns to the Rosenblatt Recitals, this time with American tenor Charles Castronovo. This charismatic husband and wife duo, one of the most seductive in the opera world, will perform a programme of music by Rossini, Liszt, Tchaikovsky and more, accompanied by Iain Burnside on piano.

“Just as impressive, in their totally different style, were the pairing of Charles Castronovo and Ekaterina Siurina… both he and Siurina sang with immense lyricism and belief.” Bachtrack

Now is a busy and exciting time in Ekaterina Siurina's and Charles Castronovo's respective careers. Praised for her “… open ease and fluency” and for producing “… an attractive sound of roundly-focussed clarity and colour in every part of the range”The Sydney Morning Herald, Ekaterina is currently performing the lead role of Leila in a production of Bizet’sLes Pêcheurs des Perles at the Sydney Opera House, whilst Castronovo will take on Edgardo in Donizetti’sLucia di Lammermoor at the Royal Opera House this Spring. With both singers in demand around the world, this is a rare opportunity to witness the charismatic pair perform opposite one another.

Still to come this season, Juan Diego Flórez performs at the Royal Albert Hall, Javier Camarena returns after his impressive Rosenblatt Recitals debut last year and the great Italian soprano, Mariella Devia, will close our season in spectacular style.

Don't forget, £5 tickets are available to students and under 35s when booking in person at the Wigmore Hall box office or over the phone on 020 7935 2141.

We do hope you can join us.

With best wishes from everyone at Rosenblatt Recitals.
